INDEPENDANTLY OWNED × WORK DONE with Love

Dr Andrew Thorpe and Dr Paul Lange Passion for Perfection

Wherever you end up, I hope your dentist takes their work as an unyielding passion. Dentistry is changing. A lot.

Since graduating in 2008, dentistry has changed so much that what I do now has little resemblance to what I did back then. I'm excited to see what can be offered to patients in the next few years!

Take for example dental implants. Originally, these were simply placed to allow something - usually a denture - to exist. Cosmetics was an accident. Over the years, cosmetics became more and more important, as implants became more predictable. Now, the aim is to try and replicate real life - the art of hiding anything was done as best as possible.

The other major area is pain management. To tell you the truth, I grew up scared of the dentist. Not just scared; PETRIFIED.

So when I say I understand your fear, I truly mean it.

As such, I spend a lot of time away each year not just learning the latest techniques, not just how to help your teeth better, but something so much more important to me - how to do it as painlessly as I know how to do.
